Dolly Parton

Released: September 15, 1975

Songwriter: Dolly Parton

I lie in bed beside you and watch you while you sleep
And wonder who I was before I loved you
Lying here beside you, feeling so complete
Thinking how I love and need and trust you

Because I love you
I'm a brand new person now
Because you love me
I can't face the world unhappy
Because I love you
Because you love me
Because I love you

Sweeter even still is knowing that you're lying there
And that you'll soon awake and reach to hold me
And anyway you want me, that's the way that I am yours
Love as strong as this lets you control me

Because I love you
I'm a brand new person now
Because you love me
I can't face the world unhappy
Because I love you
Because you love me
Because I love you

Because I love you
I'm a brand new person now
Because you love me
I can't face the world unhappy
Because I love you

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
